What does a wrecked car and the Minnesota Vikings have in common?

Neither has a title.

This is about to be painful for you.

The NFL and AFL merged in 1970.

The Minnesota Vikings are recognized as the last NFL Champions before the 1970 merger.

So what you’re saying is Green Bay is up 11-1 in titles in those years too….

Well, since the Packers have been around since 1919, and the Vikes since, what...1960? I suppose it would have been tough for the Vikings to win anything over those 41 years. More like 5-1, which is still significant even though few pro teams in any sport have much success in their first few years.

Look, there are lots of ways to quantify the success of a given sports team, but to include victories that pre-date one of the teams in discussion seems kind of silly. The Packers have had plenty of success, but success is not only measured by championships alone.

For example, I have always admired the strength of the Packers organizational design. Owned by the fans, so to speak (even though they don't get a dividend on their shares), but at least the team doesn't threaten to leave every time the stadium needs shingles. That beats the holy hell out of billionaire owners like Jerry Jones, and a few others I can think of over the years.

Nonetheless, when it comes to being a bore, there are few teams out there with fans that compete with the Packers. I suppose Cowboys, Seahawks, Eagles, and maybe 49'ers compete with the best in that category.

Thread was about the peckerheads......errr I mean cheddar heads.

We all know the vikings choke that's why they wear purple!

Every puke I've ever puked has had shades of green and yellow in it. Never purple, except that time I ate pickled beets.....and it was the wrong shade of purple lol

Q: What do you call a Minnesota Viking with a Super Bowl ring?
A: A Thief

The playoffs are a crap shoot and it effects everybody. Green Bay should have been to the big game more with rodgers and the same can be said about MN. At the end of the day GB has finished the push 7 times since the vikes establishment. And been three times (2 wins) in the last 30 years.

Vikes can't get over the hump.

Many years ago, I was a Queens fan. I developed PTSD because of it so I decided to go with a team from a better city that had more integrity! LOL
